Black Family Reunion!

This upcoming Thursday through Sunday, The Community Empowerment Association is holding its annual Black Family Reunion. Community Empowerment Association utilizes an Afrocentric strategy of integrating culture, social identity and empowerment techniques to effectively achieve desirable goals and objectives within the African American communities. Each time that I get the opportunity to, I try to support Brother Byrdsong in his endeavors to make our communities better. If you get the opportunity to please get out to support. I attached the link that has the itinerary for the 4 day affair. Thursday is the Artist Party on Kelly Street at 5pm. It is free so pack the family up and go and support your local artist throughout the ‘Burg. Hope to see you there.
